PolyShrink Shrink Plastic
By Susan Beal
Drawing onto shrink plastic, cutting it out, and carefully baking it in the toaster oven is an irresistible craft for kids. My nephew and I made some fun little magnets celebrating our visit with Pink Craftie! I like the PolyShrink brand in white best – it shows your marker or colored pencil drawings in sharp contrast and shrinks down beautifully.
Crafty Extra: Recycle your #6 plastic into shrink art! Here’s a great tutorial from Poopscape Projects with step-by-step tips and photos on upcycling to-go containers into very pretty pendants.
